To work around this problem I generate the DESCRIPTION and DESCRIPTION.in files from my Makefile. (BTW, using make to control the building process is pretty useful.) If I am building a single package I generate DESCRIPTION and if I am generating a bundle I generate DESCRIPTION.in.
If you want more details on my whole Makefile system then let me know.

Hello R world! I'm building a bundle of four packages, but I don't always want to build the whole bundle. Usually I just want to tweak one function in one of the packages and rebuild just that package. As such, I have DESCRIPTION and DESCRIPTION.in files sitting in all the package folders. Unfortunately, there's a pesky line in R CMD build that hacks away DESCRIPTION whenever it sees DESCRIPTION.in. This is okay for building the whole bundle, but it makes it a major pain to build any of the packages individually. I am root, so for now I have commented the offending line in /usr/local/lib/R/bin/build. Is this the proper solution or am I overlooking something? Thanks for any help you can provide,
Kevin
